The complete poem of peach blossom and flowing water with mandarin fish and fat. The poem of peach blossom and flowing water with mandarin fish and fat.

1. From "Yu Ge Zi·Flying Egrets in Front of Xisai Mountain" by Zhang Zhihe of the Tang Dynasty

Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and mandarin fish are fattened by peach blossoms and flowing water.

Green bamboo hats, green coir raincoats, no need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle.

2. Translation

In front of Xisai Mountain, egrets are flying freely, peach blossoms are in full bloom on the river banks, and plump mandarin fish are swimming happily in the river.

The fisherman, wearing a green bamboo hat and a green raincoat, braved the slanting wind and drizzle to fish leisurely, and did not go home even when it rained.
